We did not rent a car and the bikes worked out well . The Host was great and responsive. We got in a little early and were able to check in before 4:00 The house itself was a duplex and looked to be 30 or 40 years old. The roof had a large tarp on it. It looked like it had been there for a while but we saw no signs on the inside of roof leaks . There looked to be some deferred maintenance on the exterior but overall it did not take away from our use. It was clean and comfortable on the inside. It was about 5 minutes from the beach (walking). It was probably a mile from restaurants and a little further than that to a bar. The house was well equipped with dishes and anything you would need to make dinner. It's a good place to stay for a quick long weekend ##### Donald J Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manny C. 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great space Great place to stay.
